Markhara, of Pittsburg, was today
elected president of the Illinois Cen
tral railroad, as the successor of
'James T. Harahan.
Markham, in 1897, was made
general freight agent of the Oregon
lines of the Southern Pacific rall
'road. In 1901 he was transferred
to San Francisco as-Assistant freight
trafllc agent and In 1904 was mada
vice president of the .Houston and
Texas Central, .another ' Harrlmni
road. In April, 1904, Markham be
came general manager of the Sou
thern Pacific system and In June,
.1904, he became vice president of
the company.
In 1904, Markham left the South
ern Pacific to become general mana
ger of the Guffey Petroleum com
pany at Beaumont, Texas.
The elimination of Harahan from
the Illinois Central is caused by
operation of the pension rules of the
company. Harahan will be 70 years
old on January - 12 next He has
been with the road continuously for
20 years. He was chosen head of
the Illinois Central system after a
spectacular flght In which Edward

the road from Stuyvesant Fish;
